Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method that can accurately determine a person's future location and make recommendations based on their data service requests. This is useful for planning modifications and accurately predicting the effects of those modifications. The person can be a single network subscriber or a gateway device that provides access to the network for multiple users. The method can also determine the priority of the person and adjust the network's scheduling priority accordingly. Overall, the method improves the person's experience and reduces the network's signaling overhead.

Problems solved by technology

For example, certain types of users may be limited to a defined (and possibly limited) range of locations, such as train-based users.

Embodiment Construction

[0068]In the following description, reference may be made to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) and to particular standards. However it should be understood that the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to these. The present invention may also be applicable to a number of modes of transmission such as Time Division Duplex (TDD), Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), and High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), among others.

[0069]While devices are often referred to as “mobile” in the description herein, the term “mobile” should not be construed to require that a device always be mobile, merely that it has the capability of being in communication with a wireless telecommunications network which allows mobility. For instance, a PC terminal or a machine to machine client that is never moved from a particular geographic loca...

Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for controlling data service for a vehicle-based user of a telecommunication network. The method comprising: retrieving data associated with location behaviour of the user within the network; predicting, based on said data and on a current user location within the network, a future user location within the network; performing a determination of network capability at the future user location; and modifying, in response to the determination, a configuration of the network and / or a service parameter associated with the user. A network element, system and computer program product are also provided.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Operators of cellular telecommunications networks are ever trying to improve the efficiency of the networks and optimise network performance as poor customer experience and service loss can result in customer dissatisfaction. In conventional cellular telecommunications networks, when the user is requesting a data service, such as downloading an application or streaming audio or video data, the quality of service provided to that user is directly related to network conditions for example radio coverage and delay. If the user moves into a white spot while requesting data service, for example while travelling in a car or on a train, the data service may be interrupted (i.e. will stop receiving the data service until coverage is recovered) or may be lost completely as the data link may be damaged. A white spot is a term used in the art to describe a geographical region lacking radio coverage. Such a loss of data service results in customer dissatisfaction and often custo...
